==History==
The area that now comprises Yakima County was part of the [[Oregon Country]] at the start of the nineteenth century, inhabited both by fur prospectors from Canada, and [[Americans]] seeking land for agricultural and mineral-extraction opportunities. Unable to resolve which country should control this vast area, the [[Treaty of 1818]] provided for joint control. By 1843, the [[Provisional Government of Oregon]] had been established, although at first there were questions as to its authority and extent. During its existence, that provisional government formed the area north of the [[Columbia River]] first into the [[Washington Territory]], and then (December 19, 1845) into two vast counties: [[Clark County, Washington|Clark]] and [[Lewis County, Washington|Lewis]].

The [[Washington Territory]] was formed as a separate governing entity in 1853. In 1854, that legislature carved several counties out of the two original large counties, including [[Skamania County, Washington|Skamania County]]. Later in 1854 the new Skamania County was reduced in size by carving out [[Walla Walla County, Washington|Walla Walla County]]. This arrangement lasted until January 23, 1863, when [[List of counties in Washington#Former counties|Ferguson County]] was carved out of Walla Walla County.<ref name="historylink">{{Cite web |date=March 6, 2003 |title=Milestones for Washington State History — Part 2: 1851 to 1900 |url=http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm?file_id=5380 |publisher=[[HistoryLink.org]]}}</ref> However, the Ferguson County government and boundary was dissolved on January 18, 1865, and its area was assigned to Yakima County three days later.<ref name="Smith-Counties">{{cite journal |last=Smith |first=Charles W. |date=July 1909 |title=The Naming of Counties in the State of Washington |pages=80–83, 85 |work=The Magazine of History With Notes and Queries |volume=X |issue=1 |publisher=William Abbatt |location=New York |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.32044090112079 |via=HathiTrust |accessdate=October 23, 2024}}</ref>

Since its creation, the Yakima County boundary has been altered two times. In 1883 a portion of its area was carved off in the creation of [[Kittitas County, Washington|Kittitas County]], and in 1905 a further reduction added to the creation of [[Benton County, Washington|Benton County]].<ref name="Smith-Counties"/>

The [[Yakama Indian Reservation]] was created in 1855. However, several tribes felt the agreement creating this reserved area had been completed without sufficient native input, and skirmishes and local war (the [[Yakima War]], which lasted until 1858) meant that the reservation was not fully operational for two decades. The Reservation is the [[List of largest Indian reservations|15th largest reservation]] in America, covering {{convert|1,573|mi2|km2|abbr=on}},<ref>[http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=7651 HistoryLink.org: ''Yakima County – Thumbnail History'']</ref> and comprising 36% of the county's total area. Its population was 31,799 in 2000, and its largest city is [[Toppenish, Washington|Toppenish]].

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|4311|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|4295|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|16|sqmi}} (0.4%) is water.<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 22, 2012 |title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files |url=http://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/counties_list_53.txt |access-date=July 16, 2015 |publisher=United States Census Bureau}}</ref> Yakima County is the second-largest county in Washington by land area and third-largest by total area. Yakima County is reputed to be one of the most difficult places on earth to predict weather, because of its surrounding mountains. The county's area is larger than the states of [[Delaware]] and [[Rhode Island]] combined.<ref>[[List of U.S. states and territories by area]]</ref> The highest point in the county is Mount Adams, which is the second tallest peak in Washington and the third tallest in the Cascade Range.

==Politics==
Yakima County leans Republican in statewide elections.
